Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to a method determining the morphology of the occupant of an automotive car, characterized in that it comprises the steps of collecting (200) the outputs of a plurality of capacitive sensors (100) provided on a seat, determining for each capacitive sensors (100) a first value representative of the distance (di) separating a target (10) from the sensor (100) and a second value (Sdi) representative of the surface of the sensor (100) covered by the target (10), applying (210) to the second values (Sdi) representative of the surface of the sensor (100) covered by the target (10) a respective weighting (Wi) based on the corresponding first value (di) representative of the distance separating the target (10) from the same sensor (100), and determining (240) the morphology of the target (10) on the basis of the collection of weighted second values (SdixWi).
